I guess it depends on if there is a cyclone in the vicinity or not.

Jan is peak season for the monsoons, it is the time of year we all hang out for...
dont get too excited comin from WA, we are still talkin 12's to 16's...occasional 10.
there are some onshore waves to overhead (and a bit).
It also happens to be the time of year that the crocs mate, so there's a few of 'em roamin around. Dont stay still too long, and they wont try and root ya!
bring beer!
